Light plot for “Neat.”  This is a remount of the Renaissance Theaterworks production (originally performed in January, 2012).  Marti Gobels will reprise her role as Charlayne Harris.  It will be performed at the Kohler Arts Center in Sheboygan the week of July 8th.   The light plot, is, of course, a revision of the original, just — rounder.

Drafted elevations for “Music in the Air.”  Not shown are the 4 rolling towers.  A final touch will be changing the tops of the flip panels to be a little more architectural — gables, clock tower, that sort of thing.

The deck of “Almost, Maine,” viewed from the very cramped catwalks of the Hicklin Theatre.  That’s student Alison Blair painting the edges of the planks.

“Music in the Air” Sketchup rough sketch with some revisions to the stair cases.   Flats shown will eventually have cutout edges;  this drawing is primarily to give the director a sense of the spatial relationships going on.

Some of my artwork is currently hanging in the lobby of Madison’s Bartell Theatre through next month.  This is a picture of “Conan #1,” which is one of my favorites.
